Was worried this one had hidden in the cellar too long, but was pleasantly surprised. Very little bricking on the edges, tasted like a mature Burgundy, rather than a Cali Pinot, which was fine with me. Very little fruit characteristics, but plenty of terroir.
If you have any, drink up, as it faded after an hour.

Almost looked like an older Dujac with its aroma of smoke and beef stock. It is quite savoury with notes of freshly tilled earth and decaying leaf. Sweet and lacy in the mouth with good volume and length. Drinking very well.

David Pope Mature Wines Offline: Light colour, clear, slight browning. Some nice sweet fruit, quite bretty though, slight heat on finish. No tannin at all! A nice wine though. Surprised me this one.

EARTHY AROMA WITH PLUMS, RICH FRUIT, AND A HERBAL OVERTONE. LICORICE AND PLUMS IN THE FLAVOR. MEDIUM LENGTH FINISH.
